Yeah….Halloween 2011. We did not dress up, not one trick or treater came a-knockin’….it was a chance to paint. I spent the last two hours working through the beginning of my newest painting…just getting lost in mixing colors on my palette and putting them on the canvas. And what do you know- some figurative elements started to show up in the trunk of the tree…not sure where this painting will be taking me. I wish I could just keep painting…but teacher has gotta teach tomorrow so I better wind down and get some sleep so I can be up at 5am tomorrow…painting to be continued….

And just to note...I think maybe the start time might have been closer to 7pm...
